Description
Sorry that you guys had to wait so long for some new pics, but I am back!

I've drawn this biotechnologic terror after reading the original novel by Wells, following his description as closely as possible: verry few spinning or wheel - like parts, a "hooded", head like section, pseudo-muscles in the limbs, metallic colours and lots of mechanical tentacles. It also has a cage-like container on its back, heat rays and a black-smoke-missile cannon which can be seen held above their heads with their mechanical tentacles by some. The 8 tentacles have retractable syringe-like needles to suck out the blood of victims and are able to release the hot steam used by the Martians to neutralize the black deadly smoke.

I also tried to incorporate some features from other more iconic depictions of the tripods. For example the green eyes from the tripod's version from Jeff Wayne's musical ( s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/o… ), the wiggling tentacles from the tripod sketches by Henrique Alvim Corrêa included in the 1906 version of the book ( cdn8.openculture.com/wp-conten… ), the blade-like armor plating from Steven Spielberg's 2005 movie ( s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/o… ) and the size of "The Great Martian War" 'Documentary' heron tripods ( www.plazmadesign.co.uk/images/… ).

I also encourage you to look at 's and 's tripod designs I came along while researching. They are beautiful:

Martian, flying machine, cylinder and grappling machine designs comming soon.

This was by far one of the most complicated drawings I ever drew.

I hope you like it.
